The Surgical and Procedural Informatics Working Group serves as the academic home for professionals focused on informatics, idea exchange, and collaboration within surgical and procedural contexts. These span a broad range of delivery platforms within the healthcare system, including the emergency room, outpatient setting, hospital, intensive care unit, operating room, and procedural suites, and involve urgent, emergent, and elective care.

As such, the care of surgical and procedural patients involves unique workflows and considerations not found in other areas of healthcare. These nuances critically influence how informatics solutions and advancements—ranging from applied clinical informatics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, telehealth and digital health, and others—are adapted to and applied in surgical and procedural contexts.
